For instance, a department may contain one full-time and one part-time employee, but if the part-time employee goes on vacation, the full-time employee would fill in extra hours when and where needed, she said.

As for the LaGrange Police Department, there was a recent resignation and the chief has not yet filled the position.

“Overtime is kept to a minimum with comp time being available to all full-time employees except the Police Department,” Fallon said.

In Grafton, it’s much the same, said Clerk-Treasurer Amy Barnhart.

“In all departments, any overtime is due to staffing, special events in the village, meetings and emergencies,” Barnhart said.
